. The Bird food company's book of cage birds:. Cage birds. and will scarcely eat any other seed as long as they Can get hemp. We have made the proper diet and care of cage birds a life-study and our package goods, it is believed, contain the only correct foods for all species of birds, that have ever been placed on the American market. Our Alixed Seed consists of a combination of seeds that is best adapted to nearly all species of seed-eating birds. The mixture is: fourparts, bestquality Sicily canary, care- fully cleaned and selected, and always the crop of the current year; three parts, sweet German summer rape ; two parts, India mil- let; and one part, Turkish maw seed. It can be had at almost every first-class drug store throughout the United States. The price is lo cents for pint, and 20 cents for cjuart packages. Be sure to see that the label is the same as shown in the engraving, and as you value the hfe and song of your birds accept no substitute. We can deliver one pint of our best Mixed Seed or of plain Sicily Canary Seed by mail to any P. O. in the U. S. for 15c. We also put up the Sicily Canary Seed in the same size packages as the Mixed Seed; it is sold at the same prices. AH birds need gravel strewn on the bot- tdrtl of the cage daily, or every other day at the longest. Either Red or Silver Gravel may be used but we advise the former, as birds are very fond of it, and it helps to digest the food. Silver Gravel, although cleaner in the cage, is not eaten so readily; while, being sharp and glass-like in its nature, sometimes causes the death of the bird that swallows it, by cutting through the craw. We box both kinds, the price for each being 10 cents for the quart, and 5 cents for the pint size. The postage on one pint of gravel is 30 cents, so that our price when sent by mail is 35 cents per pint. A piece of Cuttle-Fish Bone should be kept conatantly.
